Removing a certain Member from certain standing committees of the House.
This is a House Resolution (H. Res. 706) introduced in the 119th Congress that seeks to remove Representative Ilhan Omar from two of the House’s standing committees: the Committee on the Budget and the Committee on Education and the Workforce. The resolution was introduced on September 15, 2025 by Rep. Buddy Carter (GA) with several cosponsors and referred to the House Ethics Committee. As a resolution, it does not become law; instead, it expresses the House’s official action or intent to strip a Member of certain committee assignments, pending any further handling by the Ethics Committee and potential House action. In short, the bill targets a specific member, Ilhan Omar, for removal from two committees and triggers an Ethics Committee process, rather than creating a new statutory rule. The actual removal would require adoption of the resolution by the House (and any applicable procedural steps under House rules).
